how much oil does the reservoir hold. Looks like its going to be hard to see thru the little window while filling and don't want to make a mess

It's probably holds less then an ounce. You just need to make sure that reservoir is full before starting to use the saw and confirm that the chain remains lubricates before storing it.

not much. every time you use it you have to put in new oil. about cup full. bit tricky to see oil level when you put in new oil but it's pretty good.

I usually fill it ( about 1.5- 2 gallons) if that. I'm running it at 80-100% load for about 12 hours and still have gas left over

I'd wait to put it in until it's low so it's mostly filled with the stop leak. Mine was all the way out when I put it in (my leak was obviously much faster). Others might suggest something else, but that's what I'd recommend.

In my reply to your first question I suggested using a washer pump to seal the rear opening. Even a non-operating pump will provide a seal. Otherwise, hit your hardware store for a rubber plug that approximates the size of the hole then seal it with silicone RTV. If you go that route, be sure to give the RTV plenty of time to cure before putting the reservoir into use. Good luck.

This product is suppose to be able to hold up to gasoline. Holds up to oil. I would drain the tank first, to make sure, the spot is dry, that your trying to repair.

If you take the cap off the low side outlet and tip the comp. you should have oil coming out . I do this with every comp. I buy . Then I ad about 3- 4 ounce's off oil. If your not comfortable doing it that way, you can have someone with a recovery machine vacuum it down and then fill it.

did you put in too much oil? if you overfill, you can't do it-- need to leave a lot of head space...

That is normal the window is to see the oil level on the unit. Its a stamp to label the air port above it so your aware the unit needs to breath because the it vents from that aera

Not really. There is a block of foam in the reservoir, and its ability to absorb oil is what limits the speed of adding oil. It isn't a problem, you just have to be a little patient or you will overflow the reservoir. Don't remove the foam, though. It keeps vibration from from mixing air into the oil.

I was filling mine with 8oz of water and Betadine which filled it up but as you get to the bottom of the liquid you do have to really squeeze the bulb. It didn't bother me as much because I had already used most of my solution anyway. I felt it got the job done and was easy to clean. Also not very big which is nice. Try filling it all the way up and just keep squeezing without letting too much air in. Hope this helps :)

The funnel can hold 72 oz without overflowing, if you hold it upright. I filled it with 64 oz of radiator fluid with the elbow connected. It is very good for filling a radiotor with the cap located at the back of engine compartment. I see no markings inside the funnel.

Yes, it can only hold so much oil. Laws of physics and all that. Frequency of replacement depends on the leak.

If you need oil use 10w. A brand called zoom spout works great Grainger industrial supply sells it

You can fill it up either way, just make sure you keep an eye on the gauge and slow down when almost full, kind of hard to move when full though, I just fill it with a five gallon tank and make a few trips.

Just consider the stop leak as 1 quart of oil and you will be good. It has stopped all leaks for me.

I didn't use this product much. Found the hole was too small to add oil and you couldn't see when it was getting empty. Have a clear glass one now.
